Grapes: 100% Gamay
Château Thivin is one of Beaujolais' most historic estates, perched on the slopes of Mont Brouilly and run by the Geoffray family since 1877. Now in its sixth generation, the family has helped establish Côte de Brouilly as one of the region's most distinctive crus, producing Gamay with a depth and complexity that might surprise anyone who thinks Beaujolais is all about light, fruity reds.
The estate's Côte de Brouilly comes from steep vineyards on the slopes of an ancient volcano, where distinctive blue volcanic rock gives the wines their mineral character. The Geoffrays favour traditional winemaking, including whole-cluster fermentation, to preserve Gamay's aromatic freshness while developing structure and complexity. The result is a wine with the charm of Beaujolais and the substance to reward a few years in the cellar.
Black cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry meet violet, cracked pepper and a hint of earthy spice. The palate is juicy yet structured, with fine tannins, lively acidity and a distinctive stony quality that carries through the finish. There's a lovely savoury edge beneath the fruit, making this particularly appealing with food. Delicious with roast chicken, duck, grilled sausages or wild mushrooms. A benchmark Côte de Brouilly, and a wonderful reminder of just how exciting serious Beaujolais can be.
